essential information

Personal experience

After graduating from high school, Shen Jie went to Japan to study. After returning home, she set up a cultural communication company to engage in the creation and production of TV dramas. Old story in the south of the city is one of the classic works of Chinese films in the 1980s. It is inseparable from Shen Jie's sincere, delicate and emotional performance. The close-up of small Shen Jie's clear, innocent eyes has been fixed in the minds of the audience. She has also played roles in films such as this is not a misunderstanding and under the eaves of Shanghai. [interview with Shen Jie] at the Shanghai TV Festival, the reporter met Shen Jie, the actor of xiaoyingzi in the movie old stories in the south of the city. Although it was 21 years ago to shoot old stories in the south of the city, Shen Jie's face still has the trace of little yingzi. The reporter made an appointment with her to a coffee shop in Shanghai and talked about her ten years away from the audience.

He went to Japan for ten years, four of them studying law. In 1992, 20-year-old Shen Jie graduated from high school. Because she wanted to have a more self sky, she came to Japan alone. "In fact, I am very dependent on my parents. When I was in Shanghai, I seldom went out to play by myself." When she arrived in Tokyo, Shen Jie first studied Japanese for half a year. When she chose her major, she hesitated for half a year: "many teachers and friends suggested that I learn to perform, and that's what I planned to do when I went abroad. Later, I often chatted with some lawyer friends around me and found that law is a very attractive discipline: through a civil case, we found that small things would produce contradictions. We would think about why such contradictions occurred, how to solve them, or how to avoid such things happening again in the future. "

During her four years of college life, Shen Jie also applied to NHK TV station to be the host of a program introducing China. When I came to Japan, I also felt the far-reaching influence of old stories in the south of the city. "In Japan," old story of Chengnan "is a very popular foreign film. In my university, when I passed a classroom, I suddenly heard my voice in "old stories in the south of the city" and "outside the pavilion, by the ancient road". Later, I learned that there was a Chinese class, and old stories in the south of the city was a textbook When the students knew the identity of Shen Jie, she naturally gave lectures on Chinese culture in some universities, or taught Japanese students Chinese. After graduation, Shen Jie worked as a researcher in the research center of a film consortium. A year later, Shen Jie opened her own cultural communication company, which mainly engaged in cultural exchanges with Tokyo University. She chose this kind of life, more or less because of the person who almost influenced her whole life -- Lin Haiyin, the original author of the film old stories in the south of the city.

In 2001, Lin Haiyin, a famous writer in Taiwan, died. Shen Jie didn't describe it too much. She just said that there was a lot of predestination between them: "my grandfather is in Taiwan. After graduating from University, I go to Taiwan every year. I have to do two things: one is to sweep the grave for my grandfather, and the other is to visit grandma Lin. Taiwan is no stranger to me. Granny Lin was born in Japan, and I went to Japan later. Many people around her say that we are very similar, especially in character, they are very simple and righteous people. Last year (2001), when she was dying, she often sang children's songs to show her childlike innocence. "

"Last year (2001), when I went to Taiwan, I met some of Lin's students, who are mainly engaged in publishing. At that time, they gave me a collection of novels by Mr. Lin. after reading it carefully, I was deeply attracted by the story of marriage. At that time, I wanted to make it into a movie or TV series. Mr. Lin's works are all female protagonists, and her observation is very strong, so when you look at her works, you often feel that the characters she describes are beside you. It's just that the personalities and stories of many characters are concentrated, which can easily arouse the resonance of readers. "

It's nice to be a producer

The TV series "the story of marriage" tells a story that took place in Jiangnan in the 1930s. Shen Jie said that there were several marriage stories in it,

There are different beginnings and different results. Between these different beginnings and endings, we will think about something. "The story of marriage" was jointly invested by Shen Jie's own company, Shanghai Feifan Culture Communication Co., Ltd. and a company in Taiwan. Shen Jie said that the total investment of the TV series reached 5 million, 50% of which was from her own company. Shen Jie said that Lin Haiyin's works are actually more suitable for making films. Because the story of her works is very simple, there is no modification, so when changing the script, the writer pays attention to strengthen the rhythm and plot. In this TV play, Shen Jie originally only wanted to be a good producer, but the director and screenwriter suggested that she play a simple girl, Wang Yunyi. Shen Jie said that she will shoot Lin Haiyin's works in the future, but will make it into a movie. But in the future, she doesn't want to play a role in her own play: "it's very contradictory between actors and producers. Actors always think about how to have more time to think about their roles and play better, while producers think about the production cycle and cost. This is very contradictory in itself. In addition to attending the Shanghai TV Festival these days, it's more difficult to get into the role state when you are busy. " The story of marriage started in early May 2002 and shut down in June 2002.

Personal life

Shen Jie told reporters that she chose to study law at that time, but now she chooses to be a producer because she is a person who wants to have more control over her life: "I like to fly by plane. I like the feeling of flying around. I am very free and free. I don't know if that's why I'm still single. "

Shen Jie said that "old stories in the south of the city" is a memory of her childhood. "I am very lucky to be able to participate in the shooting of this film. It has given me a special childhood and also affected my later life." At the TV Festival, Shen Jie met Zhang Fengyi, who filmed "old stories in the south of the city" with her. "I didn't say hello at that time, so I stood in front of him all of a sudden. However, Zhang Fengyi recognized me and asked me:‘

"Where have you been for so many years? Why are you still so small?" A few years ago, when I went to the United States, I met yuan Jiayi, the actor who played "Niu Er" in old stories in the south of the city. She immigrated to the United States very early. When I was speaking locally, she read the newspaper and called me. After meeting, we both said that each other has not changed at all. "
